Liked what I saw of Onyeka in this game. His vertical movement, coverage and work between the defensive lines was very good.
Also liked the partnership b/w Bassey and Akpoguma. For a first time partnership it did look good and were never caught out by either a wall pass or ball over the top, except for the Mahrez missed control...
Concerned about our quality out wide; its just not there atm

With this Coach, Nigeria will not qualify for Afcon or any World Cup with this Coach. D rated coach. SE are not a good team. They're average at best.
I think the coach is OK but the team is very average by african standards. Poor ball control, one touch move, too slow in decision making..... for a football loving country with over 200million we have under achieved.
But thats issue abi ? When we have an average team we NEED more than an average coach . Average team plus average coach = no results. or at best average results.
Since we cant fix average team we need a better than average coach Pesa is good but he is not what we need

To be fair Algeria didn't get one single clear cut chance in this game, Uzoho was just too useless to save a 40 yard scorcher, hopefully this is the last we see of these two (Uzoho and Okoye).

A football loving country of 200 million people can't produce a single world class GK and midfielder? That deserves a documentary of its own
You cant produce a world class GK and midfielder when:
1. goalkeeper - the NFF and coaches spend years upon years inviting the same goalkeepers because of blowjob, rather than actively scouting for proper talent; and
2. midfielders - every single coach and the NFF think football doesnt need midfield, so they invite 4 midfielders
abeggiiiiiiiii! You want to succeed, but do not want to do what it takes to succeed.

Hmm he is still on vacation? You slaves do not want to admit that your b4st4rd is jobless because he cannot find a job -- you keep calling it vacation.

How woud 4-3-3 have changed the outcome of the game? How would it have prevented our so called professional goalkeeper from letting in a 50 yard shot? Did we not create several chances in the game with the formation we used? How would 4-3-3 have prevented injuries to some of our key players, which forced us to make the selection we made and the formation we played?

Overall it was a quality test given, unfortunately, we can't play & score 10 against Sao Tome every month.
Jokes aside, two glaring areas for improvement are goalie and midfield.
Also, we should be playing a 433 for better balance. No 5 at the back and no 442 biko.
Said it now for more than a year.
We are ripe for a transition to a 4-3-3, with Iwobi at the top of a triangle. He's come on in leaps and bounds and is very responsible on the ball, added to an increased work rate.
We cannot get anything more from Kele in this role...

I didnt watch the match, so frankly, i cant comment on performance. But a few interesting things:
- Away match + very hostile territory
- our top 2 strikers missing
- first time our CBs are playing together and one of them was not on the team over the last one year
- Our CM and Winger is not the first choice - Frank and Lookman.
- their first goal was scored from a penalty kick.

Let's give Algeria credit. They are a good team. In my opinion, with the exception of maybe Senegal and Morocco I think they are better than all the other African teams going to the world cup, including Cameroun that eliminated them.

You are so slow it is painful reading and responding to you.
The idea is that a 4-3-3 gives us greater balance in MF and allows us get the best of the talent we have.
Its not necessarily about any one match or any one result.

Don't mind the peeps here who have difficulty understanding the game.
It was actually a good friendly and we played well. Was very organized in the defensive phase with very good positional discipline behind the ball, such that Algeria never broke through with a Grade A chance, the entire game.
We were poor on the counter, and we did have several good opportunities. And our finishing could be better.
Very impressed with the CD pairing and Frank Onyeka in CM/DM position.
We also need to improve the quality in the wide areas, which I suspect we have already in Samu.
But especially we need to keep looking for GKs, as well as upgrade our GK coach and get someone who can find a real talent in goal. In the meantime, return to Okoye. His fundamentals are better than the grasshopper catcher...

Okoye ? Don’t let Enugu hear you he would send mercenaries come for you. And he didn’t even watch the game yet because I don’t seee him in the chats during the game or post game but once he wakes up he would come here to hype uzoho and tell us his blindfolds are translucent

Fundamentals!!!
Yes his fundamentals are better.
Ball handling
Positioning
Use of his feet
Dealing with crosses.
Uzoho though has the quicker reflexes, but otherwise poorer on the aforementioned.
Okoye however needs to be playing every week. That is what his major problem is today...
We need to hire a proper GK trainer to focus on scouting the local league.

You sound like a short circuited robot... regurgitating repetitive rubbish. You don't even know the type of players the nonsensical formation you regurgitate requires. How would 4-3-3 made us effective when we could not dominate the midfied with 4 player.

I don't regurgitate nonsensical formations that have no bearing on reality .... the personnel available. If anything, the coaching staff should be pleased with the performance of the team given the number of players that was missing. We all know exactly where the problem lies.
